SPOILERS BELOW! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE SERIES FINALE!
So now that the series finale of Pretty Little Liars is over, I am so excited to write some spoby fanfiction :-) This will be a series of one shots, but I will do my best to write them in chronological order. I plan on starting right after Toby finds Spencer and Alex together. Please, if any of you have any suggestions of a one shot, please leave a comment in the reviews :-) Below, is my thoughts on the series finale of spoby. My first official chapter will be posted in a few days :-)
Ok so I know a lot of spoby fans are unhappy, but after sleeping on it, I am VERY satisfied with the series finale. Having a twin made so much sense and there were so many clues, including past seasons. I honestly wouldn't want anyone else to be A.D. Troian did a phenomenal job portraying both Spencer and Alex. So hats off to her. Seriously. She is an AMAZING actress. And the spoby scenes that we did get in the finale (the first stable scene, the fire pit scene, the scrabble scene, the rehearsal dinner scene, and the scene where Toby asks for her favorite poem in the book and Spencer replies in French, were legit, true, 100% spoby scenes. It was so Spencer and Toby. And all of their scenes together were hinting towards love. There were no fights or anything negative between them (all of the other ships had at least one fight/disagreement in the finale), I honestly would have been disappointed if Spencer kissed Toby when he was engaged. That's not Spencer. She cares for Toby and loves him and wanted him to be happy. It also wouldn't be Spencer to "hook up" with Toby without talking about anything and Spencer would NEVER take advantage of Toby like that when his wife just died. So even though we didn't get a spoby kiss in the finale, we got an amazing hug at the stables (with a great song to foreshadow he obviously missed her and still has feelings for her), scrabble (seriously, how cute and Spencer of her was it when she asked Toby if he wanted to take her back to his room and they ended up playing scrabble? And uh, how many times did spoby fans wish for a parallel to the first spoby scrabble hotel scene 1x19? We got scrabble, a sleeping Toby, and the same song on 1x19...our fan base legit got the best parallel), then Toby bringing up the scrabble game the next night AND asking if she had any plans for Sunday (by doing this, he is wanting to prove to her that their love is not one sided), and holy cow, my smile was huge when Spencer replied her answer in FRENCH to Toby and the look they both had in their eyes..wow, just wow. That was so incredibly perfect. That was spoby love you guys. They had TEARS in their eyes for crying out loud! And not to mention the fact that Toby told Spencer that he was sticking around and when the girls brought it up to Spencer about him sticking around, Toby wanting to get in her sheets, and how they are happy for her, she was all smiles! And I mean come on, you don't say that you are sticking around unless you want to have a future with someone. And as much as we hated for Toby to get taken advantage of again, it showed us how messed up Alex was. And Spencer too was taken advantage of because of this. But as messed up as it was, I believe there are no 2 other people better than Spencer and Toby to understand each other and be there for each other after this huge mess and make their love stronger for each other. And honestly, I'm happy. Just because they didn't have sex or kiss in 7x20 doesn't mean they didn't have any romance. To Alex, love was sex but that's not what love is. Love is more than that. All the scenes they did share were romantic in my eyes and that is more satisfying than a kiss or a sex scene. The spoby scenes they they did share were amazing :-) and just because someone gets married/engaged/or has a kid(s) doesn't mean they are happier than someone who is just together/dating. So yes, I am very satisfied with the finale :-)
